Reviewers mostly see Poe as a practical way to access and compare many AI models in one place, especially for prompt testing, quick experiments, and building simple custom assistants or agents. Users praise fast support for new models, broad availability, and usefulness in places where other AI tools are harder to reach. The main complaints are limits on free usage, occasional trouble getting bots to follow context, missing features like notifications or reply editing, and some privacy concerns around accidentally making bots public.
